We run many clinics for the management of chronic diseases and offer a wide variety of medical services.
Baby Immunisations
Our Practice Nurse, Paula Downey does all baby immunisations. She is available on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and appointments can be made on either of these days. If your baby is due their 6-8 week assessment, this is carried out by the GP. Please ask for a 20 min appointment and let reception know it is for their assessment.
